Darkness falls fast. It's 6:19 pm and inside my house, the curtains are drawn, the lamps turned on. At the worst of times, I find winter nights desolate and devoid of comfort. At the best, it is the perfect excuse to watch hours of tv without guilt, wrapped in a blanket, with the heater at full blast. I know many of you are only starting to enjoy summer. It has left us, at the Southern Hemisphere, behind.

The gorgeous Sol awarded me a while ago. I'm sorry for hoarding it for so long. It is the Proximidade award, and given that I've received it before, I'm following in Emy Augustus' bright idea, and designing a new award to pass on in its place!
I pass this on to my stalwart blogosphere friends. I wish I could deliver this to you with a huge real-life hug. You ladies make it worthwhile.

ReplyDeleteLovely award you've made there! :) I have to say, one of my favorite things about winter is also not having to shave my legs so often... In fact, I'm sad that I'll have to start thinking about that! Ugh. Hot chocolate!

ReplyDeleteYour Things Which Make Winter Bearable list is absolutely perfect right down to the "not needing to shave your legs because they're always in tights." So funny and so true. Enjoy your hot chocolate and blankets :)
Pretty pictures. Winter is made bearable to me by many hours spent inside. :)
ReplyDeleteNot having to shave my legs because of tihgts is one of my favorite parts of winter! It's also nice being able to blame my laziness and staying inside on the cold weather. Haha
ReplyDeleteYES the hot choco and being wrapped up in oodles of blankets! <3!!!!

It's so hard to imagine winter starting in the southern hemisphere! But your post almost makes me wish it were starting here too (and I'm a hot weather girl). Hope it doesn't get too cold for you! My favorite thing to do it curl up under a blanket with hot cocoa and my favorite book. Happy hibernating!
ReplyDeleteThe not-having-shave part is definitely one of my favorite winter-time things.
ReplyDeletethese are so true & love the images you choose too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you my darling!!! Cupcakes and deer? I'm thrilled!
ReplyDeleteaw. acres of blankets :)
